Last night my family and I had the opportunity to check out iLUMINOUS by Circus Vargas  and let me tell you! We had so much fun! iLUMINOUS is a new, high-energy extravaganza that illuminates the wonder and imagination of every child at heart. It was especially special to me because the very first circus show I attended  when I was a kid was by Circus Vargas, so it was nice to share the memory with my daughter and niece.

Our party consisted of my husband, myself, my two-year-old daughter, my three-year-old niece and my mom. Each of us had our favorite acts. I personally loved the luminous athletic bouncers on the trampoline wall because it made me feel like I was in Vegas for the night. I know that my mom loved the brother-sister roller skating daredevils because the act took you back in time through fun music.

The show is packed with lots of fun and laughs. A lot of laughs! It’s about  2 hours long with a  short intermission in between.

Here a few tips to make your trip to see iLUMINOUS a success:

  1. Use special code MOM5 for $5 off each Child and Adult ticket in the Arena and Bleacher sections. Offer available online only and can be used for any performance through June 13.
  2. Bring Cash for Parking. We paid $10 at the Burbank Location
  3. Kids 2 and under to not need a ticket
  4. The free pre-show starts about 45 minutes before the show. Your kids will have the opportunity to join the circus!
  5. They have lots of snacks (nachos, popcorn, hotdogs, shaved iced and cotton candy) If that’s not your thing there are plenty of restaurants across the freeway. Just a 2-minute drive away.
  6. Stay for a post-show meet and greet with the stars
